Trollräd på tomteby

 

Last weekend i held a game for the kids. I introduced them for my troll raid on a gnome village.

The theme of the game is just general mayhem with lots of humour. Players are getting points for bashing gnomes, braking into houses, drinking barrels, eating poisonous mushrooms and so on. In short for anything mayhem.

It uses the mechanics from the Hail Ceasar rules as a base but with some alterations. Each player are trying to "order" his or her troll to do what the player wants but with blundering on a 10+ instead of a 12 on 2d6 just for even more chaos. 

The game were very popular and I will have to play more game with the littleones.

 

Alpha Legion Contemptors

 

 

Here we have my Alpha Legion Contemptors, some of these you might have seen before.
So some of them are fixed up to a higher standard and some are freshly painted. They are a mixture of resin contemptors and plastic ones.
Over a couple of years I have bought up second hand contemptors when Ive seen good deals. I mixed the parts to get a more varied mixture of parts and some details are press moulded with instantmould and greenstuffed. All in a attempt to get them a more personal touch.

All of them are magnetised so I can swap the arms around and with some spare weapons I got.

Paintingwise I airbrushed Tamaya clear blue and green over a metalic/silver preeshade. I have used transfers and a fine detail brush for freehand markings and symbols. I have used oildwash for shadowing and later used oilpaints to create a colour modulation. I tested to tint some of the shadows and some areas with purple and I think it gave a nice result. After that I paintchipped with silver and dark grey.

And lastly I painted the bases and the lover parts of the legs with acrylics and pigments.

 
Im really happy with the end results, some of the repoosing and conversions didnt turn out that good but all in all Im more then pleased.

Looking forward to field them on a tabletop when a game can be played again.
